Should I Delete That?

“You’re not even allowed to think for yourself” - surviving a ‘cult’… with Rachael Reign

Should I Delete That?

Show Notes

Rachael Reign was 13 years old when she joined what she thought was a youth group… the next eight years of her life were dedicated to an organisation that she describes as a 'cult'.

We spoke to Rachael about her experience in the UCKG - a church with over 30 locations in the UK that has been accused by Rachael and other ex-members of dangerous, cult-like behaviour. The UCKG states that they are not a cult - and it is a registered charity in the UK.

Rachael told us about her years within the church - the effect it has had on her life, the fear she felt around leaving and why she has created the UK’s only black-led specialist support group for fellow survivors.
